Nellie's Tree, Remarkable beech tree in Parlington, United Kingdom.

Three beech trees grafted together form the shape of the letter N, creating a distinctive natural formation in the Yorkshire woodland.

In the 1920s, local miner Vic Stead shaped three young beech saplings into the letter N while walking to visit his future wife Nellie.

The tree represents a symbol of enduring love and received recognition as England's Tree of the Year in 2018 from the Woodland Trust.

Located at coordinates 53.819306, -1.357194, the tree stands along the former Aberford Railway path, now a walking and cycling route.

The tree remains a preferred location for marriage proposals, continuing its legacy as a meeting point for couples in the Yorkshire region.
